"Why are our cities suffering from the same problems that every other city faces?" I don't even know what to say to this. How can the author even be asking this question? Here's a basic outline. It feels weird typing t

Chrome is dropping NPAPI support, which includes the Unity browser plugin. Unity will be temporarily whitelisted probably through the end of 2014 but the goal is to remove support entirely. http://blog.chromium.org/2013&#x2

I personally think it's just incredible that vertical centering in CSS has been so woefully neglected over the 16 years we've had CSS. Every time I read another article about how somebody just maybe has figured out a kludgy way t

Most arrogant quote I've ever heard coming from a developer. I hope this sounded different in context because that is one of the most horrible and elitist things I've ever heard pertaining to our industry.

The museum of natural history was not built post-1995. It's probably giving that as the date because they added the new planetarium in 2000. Which raises the question, is this true for other buildings -- is it showing the date of the

I ask them to guard my laptop, which they usually do since I suppose they will get in trouble if it's stolen. Actually maybe the fact that I'm asking them to watch over my laptop expedites the actual patdown, because I never have

I love how he felt compelled to excuse his omission of castling and en passant moves by explaining that they were added to chess "later" (14th and 15th century)... maybe he started working on this project before those rules were a

"sending a message" == getting you to doubt, think twice == instilling fear == creating terror == being a terrorist Fighting terror with terror. How can it be that no one in the UK government agencies responsible for this can see

"Funding some local education or beautification initiatives could go a long way to reducing the gentrification backlash." Or maybe California could relax its constitutional restriction on city and county income taxes, which would make much

I hear this over and over again and I wonder why nobody frames this as a generational thing. The Apple II came out in 1977. I'm 41 now, so back then I was 8, still learning how to think, how to process the world. I wrote my first compute

I think you are missing the point that this poll is voluntary. So, the "Do not disclose" option is there -- just click on one of the many other links on HN today, or otherwise do something else with your time. There, you "did not disclose

I would have agreed with this up until about a year ago. But I've recently discovered a new way of thinking about the development process that IMO is far superior, and more importantly, far healthier in the long run. The way I used to thin

I probably sound like a food snob, but when I'm thinking of beef that tastes like cardboard, I'm thinking of a Big Mac, for example. If you take all the condiments and just eat the beef only, it's pretty tasteless, IMO. A lot of people say

Yes that is what they are supposed to be eating. Their digestive systems have evolved over millions of years to eat grass, and if they eat grass they will be healthier animals, and their meat will taste like real beef and not like tasteles

I just want to say that what I've found is that you need a balance. Swing too far in the direction of "Do what you love" and you'll hate the fact that you're poor and can't get a job. Swing too far in the direction of "do what's practical

Maybe oversimplified, but, these being the 5 programming paradigms listed in Wikipedia: Aspect-oriented (? not an expert on this) Imperative/procedural (most work is done by statements) Functional (most work is done by functions) Logic (mos

Sorry to harsh on the site, I realize it's your creation that you've put time and effort into, and I'm just some random guy killing time on the internet. That said, I will say that the poster explanations were frustrating for me. I've stud

I have to say this. I was getting annoyed at the oversimplified, vague, and/or unclear explanations on the poster. It's great to have a poster cataloging logical fallacies, but it's not so great if it doesn't actually explain them very wel

Many people are socially awkward because they have bottled up rage or antisocial urges and need therapy. Sounds like this guy might have been in that category.
